Haddaway's biggest hit, "What Is Love," became very popular across Europe (reaching #2 in the UK), North America and Australia after its 1993 release. Follow-up single "Life" was a big U.S. and European dance hit. His debut album spawned two more European hit singles: "I Miss You" and "Rock My Heart." His 1995 album included two minor hits, but his later releases went by largely unnoticed.
"What Is Love" has been re-mixed and re-released dozens of times. The track had a resurrection in popularity following a prominent role in a Saturday Night Live skit, which later became the 1998 film A Night at the Roxbury.
Haddaway appeared on the Comeback reality television show in Germany in 2003. He appeared on a similar UK show, Hit Me Baby One More Time, in 2005 and subsequently appeared on the U.S. version of the show.
In July 2005, he released a new single called "Spaceman" and album called Pop Splits in Germany where he has a very strong following of fans.
I'll Do It For You
Haddaway Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bright coloured hair
And lips so soft
I hear her voice inside my head
Maybe I'm crazy
But I know instead
She tells me stories all about her life
And we start to fight
If you wanna be with me
Then change your ways
I can't go on with this mental thing
I'll do for you
Anything that you want me to
If you go crazy
If you get wild
Girl, I'll be the man on your side
What more can I do or say?
Yes, we tried talking
But she walks away
I give her all the time I can
This can't go on,
It's out of my hands
I don't blame you
It's not your fault
Well, I'm not strong
And not so tough
If you wanna be with me
Then change your ways
I can't go on with this mental thing
I'd do anything for you
In this song, Haddaway sings about a woman who he dreams of every night. He describes her as having bright coloured hair and soft lips, and he hears her voice in his head. The lyrics suggest that he might be going crazy, but he knows that he is not. She tells him stories about her life, but he gets confused and they often end up fighting. However, Haddaway is willing to do anything for her, even if she goes crazy or gets wild. He wants to be the man by her side.
Throughout the song, it is clear that Haddaway is struggling with this woman. He feels like he has given her all the time he is able to give, but he cannot continue with the "mental thing." He encourages her to change her ways if she wants to be with him, but ultimately, he may not be strong enough to handle everything that comes with being with her.
Overall, the song is a reflection of the struggles in a relationship, and the lengths we are willing to go to for love. It's a reminder that sometimes, love is not enough to overcome the challenges in a relationship.
